“好消息”是什么呢？那就是“上帝是爱！”（约壹4:8）
你若想与他人分享上帝的“爱”，仅仅需要对简单的“救恩”有简单的信心，和能使简单的人们所相信、接受和得救的简单的福音就行了。上帝的“爱”的“好消息”，曾被简单地概括在一段美丽的经节里：“上帝爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，使凡信他的人，不至灭亡，反得永生。”（约3:16）
如果你能帮助他们了解这段经节的每一个细节的话，那么对你来说也就足够了！“上帝爱世人”－－谁是上帝？他是“爱之灵”！他们是其中的一个世人吗？那么就把他们的名字放进去：“上帝爱你…甚至把他的独生子赐给了你！”他是谁？他就是耶稣！“使凡信他的”－－他们相信和认识耶稣吗？那么，他们就将“不至灭亡”，即：不会到地狱里去，而会“反得永生。”
你若想告诉世人上帝爱他们的话，你只要精通“约翰3章16节”就行了，你就能去传播福音了！这就是你所需要的、赢取迷失灵魂的全部教育，就是作一个传道士的所有准备！你只需到有迷失灵魂的地方去，并给予他们上帝的“爱”、以及他在耶稣里的有关“救恩”的“好消息”就行了！

What’s the Good News?—“God is love” (1 John 4:8).
All you need in order to share God’s love with others is a simple faith in a simple salvation and a simple Gospel for people to simply believe and receive and be saved—the Good News summed up so simply in one beautiful verse: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
That’s the best single verse in the Bible to explain the concept of salvation to people from almost any background. If you can help them understand each part of that verse, that’s all you really need. “For God so loved the world”—who is God?—He’s the Spirit of love. Are they part of the world? “For God so loved you”—put their name in there—”that He gave His only begotten Son”—who’s that?—Jesus—”that whoever believes in Him”—do they believe in Jesus?—then they “will not perish”—they won’t go to Hell—”but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 is all the education you need to go out and win the lost. That’s all the preparation you need to be a missionary. Simply go out where the lost are to be found and give them His love and the Good News of salvation in Jesus!
